BRIDGE SCHEME ABANDONED.
The Sixth Avenue Structure Ex.
pensiYe and dImpracIicahIe.

If the milling magnateS had not already
abandoned all idea of bridge at Sixth
avenue their last vestige of hope would
have been dissipated by The report of City
Engineer Rinker submitted to council last
night. He reports that not only would
such bridge cost nearly half million dol
lars. but the plans are impracticable, if not
impossible. He does not include in his es-
Inmates the certain damage to pri-
vate property, nor the costs of
suits that may be necessary to
gain a crossing of the several tracks and
bridges. Such a bridge would be, without
approaches, 1,5S0 Teet long, and will re-
Quire the lowering of the top of the Mime
apolis Mill company's canal four feet.
There is an element of uncertainty and
danger in the necessity for putting in
pier in the center of the river, owing to the
close proximity of the great break of 1871.
The removal Of one, and perhaps two. spans
of the Manitoba viaduct may be necessary,
and the substitution of iron trusses
or girders. The greatest difficulty would be
in the approaches. as it would be necessary
to lower Washington avenue, from Fifth to
Eighth avenues: Seventh avenue, from
Washington to Third street, and Sixth ave-
nue. from Washington to Third There
would be damages from the change of grade
and the cost of lowering buildings The
total cost of the bridge and approaches, if
practicable, would be $500, S45. The cngi-
neer does not regard the scheme as feasible,
and the report was filed without word
This undoubtedly will put the chimerical
scheme to rest, and it is understood Messrs.

Wretched, Indeed,

Are those whom confirmed tendency to
biliousness, subject to the various and
changeful symptoms indicative of liver
complaint. Nausea, sick headache. con
stipation, furred tongue, an unpleasant
breath, dull or sharp pain in the neigh
borhood of the affected organ, impurity of
the blood and loss of appetite, signalize
it as one of the most distressing, as it is
one of the most common of maladies
There is, however. a benign specific for
the disease and all its unpleasant mani
festations. 1t is the concurrent testimony
of the public and the medical profession,
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
medicine which achieves results speedily

flying liver disorder. it invigorates the

Theory of Coal Formation.

A new theory of coal formation has
been advanced by NJ. De Grand Fury,
which, a French journalist points out, is
opposed TO the idea that large trees and
shrubs produced coal. A calculation, he
maintains, of the accumulation of trees,
etc, necessary for the conversion into
even thin coal bed, of forest suddenly
buried under water, or gradually letting
its residue gather on the ground, leads to
an evidently erroneous result, so greatly
is it necessary to exa2gerate either the
mass of vegetable matter or the duration
of the process of coal formation. He con-
siders that the coal beds were formerly
beds of naptha and bituminous petroleum,
produced by the decomposition of inferior
aquatic vegetation under the influence of
heat and dampness. This theory also, he
thinks, will serve to explain the formation
of petroleum, asphalt and other bitumin-
